001- Chiropractic Research with Dr. Gregory Cramer

Listen to my chiropractic research interview with Gregory Cramer, D.C., Ph.D.   Dr. Cramer graduated from The National College of Chiropractic [now National University of Health Sciences (NUHS)] in 1979 and was in clinical practice for five years with his father, David Cramer, DC, before pursuing a career in research and teaching. He received his Ph.D. in Basic Medical Sciences (Anatomy) in 1987 from The Medical College of Ohio at Toledo (now University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences) and then began teaching and conducting research at NUHS, where he is currently Professor and Dean of Research. He is interested in human and animal research designed to determine the mechanisms of action of spinal manipulation, promoting evidence-based/informed CAM practice, and CAM “disciplines research.” He has worked on over two dozen federally and privately funded research projects related to these goals. He has received several awards for research, including the 2005 American Chiropractic Association Researcher of the Year Award, and has published over 150 abstracts, papers, and book chapters. He is co-author of a text entitled, “Clinical Anatomy of the Spine, Spinal Cord, and ANS,” the third edition of which was published in 2013.
